具有外部库的可运行jar

Question

I created a program and I have to make a jar executable. Nothing of witchcraft. This done with eclipse under windows, when I type in the console: java -jar monJar.jar everything is OK. When I double-click myJar.jar, the program starts and closes immediately. For information, I include the external jar RXTXcomm.jar which offers an API to the COM ports.

With run at console, "java.exe" in windows processes. With double-click on myJar.jar, "javaw.exe * 32" in windows processes.

After many forums and tutorials reading, you are my last hope.

Thank you

Answer 1

I try many things with Erwin's links without success. I made a bat file and I think I will work with it for a while. In the past, I made .exe on other projects with launch4j and Ant. When I have time, I will do the same. I'm very disappointed that is so difficult to make a simple jar. If I find a solution some day, I will tell you.

Thanks to everyone.

try launch4j tool. It converts your jar into exe taking care of all other configurations.

You can configure it to maven also. I fount this link useful.
